No mapping found in DIspatcherServlet

Question

I have been fighting this message for a few days now and cannot figure out what I have wrong.

Basically what I am trying to do is serve up json with my service. I am not interested in returning a jsp.

The URL I am requesting is

localhost/service/products/1

Here is the error.

WARN - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/service/products/1] in DispatcherServlet with name 'cr'

My ProductsController shows as follows:

Also if it helps this is also being shown with the same warning for the 404 page.

WARN - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/service/products/1] in DispatcherServlet with name 'cr'
WARN - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/error/404] in DispatcherServlet with name 'cr'

Answer 1

Three problems I see:

1. In the web.xml, your DispatcherServlet should be mapped to /* instead of just /. The latter only matches the empty path and nothing else, so the path you're requesting never hits the servlet.
2. You left <mvc:annotation-driven/> out of your spring-controller.xml.
3. Probably unrelated, but sure to cause future problems, in your spring-controllers.xml, you shouldn't be component-scanning the same base package as you do in the applicationContext.xml. The spring-controllers.xml is for configuring your DispatcherServlet, and should only have controllers and MVC-related beans in it. The applicationContext.xml is where your services, DAOs, and related things should live. It's the same problem as described here:

Declaring Spring Bean in Parent Context vs Child Context
